The Power of Engagement

Abby, Tonya, Mackenzie, Peter and Cassie

On impact Vancouver day our group began with absolutely no ideas. After tonnes of brainstorming we decide to do something artistic with the people of inner city Vancouver. On our way to do that we ran into Rick- a man who knows the streets all to well. He opened up to us for about an hour and when we asked him what we should do to impact Vancouver he told us to do what we were already doing; talking to people. Without an agenda we therefore decided to be open to conversation as our way to impact Vancouver. This involved an impromptu tour through the First United Church- a mission, and some incredible time talking and playing games with people in the Carnegie Community Center. It was an incredible day the deeply impacted each member of our group.
